Dried Fruits Project
Dried Fruits
Balqa, Al Salt
Jordan produces large quantities of fruits, such as grapes and figs during the height of the fruit picking season. However, while the local market is filled with imported dried fruits, mainly from Turkey and Syria, locally produced dried fruits are low in volume.
Because imported dried fruits are sold at higher prices, a local operation would have a competitive price advantage. The aim of this project is to start with training 6 women for producing dried raisin and figs in the first stage, and then diversify to new fruits. The project will be developed in cooperation with a civil society organization or with people experienced in this vertical. The operation will see so the fruit processed, packaged and marketed locally.
